A Concordia Parish Sheriff’s Office deputy found his service dog shot and killed in his backyard in the 300 Block of Stampley Street in Vidalia on Saturday.
Walter Mackel said his wife, Pamala, let their four-year-old Belgian Malinois, named Behr, outside on Saturday morning and later found him dead after he had been shot.
Mackel said Behr came to live with him and his family while Mackel was recovering from being shot in the line of duty in July 2019.
